It was some fun watching the Saints dismantle the Patriots last night. And now I'm doing the wave. No, not the audience wave<\/a> \u2014 I'm not that big of a sports fan and I do still have my basic sense of human dignity. I'm talking about Google Wave<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Wave\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Google describes Wave as \"a personal communication and collaboration tool,\" and at first glance it seems to be highly flexible and powerful. Whether it will also be useful and successful is another question entirely.<\/p>\n

It's a little hard for me to describe Wave, mainly because I haven't had much chance to play around with it yet. It's invitation-only at this point, and I only got mine a couple days ago. (Props to Nola Cheri\u00e9 King<\/a> for hooking me up.) I hope to spend some time poking around at it and exploring its possibilities, seeing what potential it might have. This is just what I do, who I am, plus it's my job. In particular I'm wondering what application Wave might have in higher education.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, I've now got a handful of invites (eight, to be specific) which I can pass on to any interested parties, and we can check this thing out together. I'm reserving at least half of them for people who are here at the University. So if you'd like an invite, use the comment form below, and make sure to put your e-mail address in the appropriate field (no one will see it but me) so I can send you the invitation. Google says the invites may be delayed but I got mine pretty much instantly. I'll send invites on a first-come basis, but you have to promise to do the wave with me at least once.<\/p>\n
